/**
* Utility for making deep copies (vs. clone()'s shallow copies) of
* objects. Objects are first serialized and then deserialized. Error
* checking is fairly minimal in this implementation. If an object is
* encountered that cannot be serialized (or that references an object
* that cannot be serialized) an error is printed to System.err and
* null is returned. Depending on your specific application, it might
* make more sense to have copy(...) re-throw the exception.
*
* @deprecated since version 1.9.8
* @deprecated We have reorganized and simplified the Authorize.Net API to ease integration and to focus on merchants' needs.
* @deprecated We have deprecated AIM, ARB, CIM, and Reporting as separate options, in favor of AuthorizeNet::API (package: net.authorize.api.*).
* @deprecated We have also deprecated SIM as a separate option, in favor of Accept Hosted. See https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/features/accept_hosted.html for details on Accept Hosted.
* @deprecated For details on AIM, see https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sample-code-java/tree/master/src/main/java/net/authorize/sample/PaymentTransactions.
* @deprecated For details on the deprecation and replacement of legacy Authorize.Net methods, visit https://developer.authorize.net/api/upgrade_guide/.
